at some point I expect Sony to send me an email and tell me to stop using there icons.

I very much doubt that would happen. Sony normally isn't bothered with the people who improve on their software using their icons, fonts, etc.

PRS+ uses Sony's icons - they were never asked to cease . I think, as long as you don't try to distribute the product on the open market, outside "the Sony world", you are fine.

Having said that, if people do go ahead and produce a new set of icons (as long as they are obtained legally, and meet your requirements), it would be great if you can manage to utilize those. Would be even cooler, if one could select which set of icons (skin, GUI style) to use. As long as the APK still fits in the puny /data partition on the reader...

First of all, thanks to you guys for all your effort. I have been enjoying Porkupans work for years in my 505, so can't be more grateful.

Here's the thing. I am perfectly happy with the way the T1 displays my PDF-6", so I have no interest in adding any other reading appk at all. Still I would like to use this alternative homescreen, so I would need some way to just root the T1, without adding anything else and add this single app. Is there a way to do that?

I already have the minimal root set but it already has more than I need. Maybe I have to use that and then uninstall everything?
